Happening in My World:
Ok I asked for it!
We had 18 mm of rain on Tuesday night, then Wednesday it literally rained all day and night and we got 110 mm !!!!!!!!! IN 24 HOURS!
That's more than our closest weather station has had in the past FOUR MONTHS!

My only complaint is that I didn't realise it had rained THAT MUCH (it was constant light rain, not a downpour) and I didn't check the tank until about 4.30pm Wednesday , and found it was overflowing! (that means it got 10,000 litres of water in one day!!!) So I quickly had to rig up hoses to get some water into our depleted bushfire supply tank , before more got wasted in the overflow. Gah!!
For some reason while I was doing this, the local Wedgetail Eagle was flying ominously low overhead.... it was totally eyeing me off thinking 'hmmm if she falls off that rickety ladder in the wet and hits her head there's my dinner for a week!!!!!!!'

I couldn't believe the creek started flowing so high SO QUICKLY! I went down there Wednesday arvo to have a look and it had gone from the lowest I've seen it to almost the highest I've seen it. Unfortunately I didn't take the camera down (it would have got drenched) but here's some pics to give you a rough idea. The low one is from recently and the high one is actually from last year (but that's where it was Wednesday arvo). Unfortunately the angle the pic is taken from is different, but that's actually the same bit of the creek in both pics.
